By to the above-mentioned Ag doped with Cu preparing
2o based p type transparent conductive film carries out performance test, obtain test result as shown in FIG. 1 to 3, film for the Ag that do not adulterate, its (111) and (200) diffraction peak position move to right than the corresponding diffraction peak of other doping films position, diffraction peak intensity is maximum, can infer that its structure is more complete, firm than doping film of the Cu-O-Cu chemical bonding of Partial Height symmetry in crystalline structure, and then hole is lower, room temperature p-type electric-conducting performance is bad, more than resistivity 600 Ω cm.The Ag doped with Cu of preparing for the present invention
2o based p type transparent conductive film, its (111) and (200) diffraction peak position move to left than the corresponding diffraction peak of doping film position not, and move to left gradually along with the increase of Ag content, diffraction peak intensity weakens gradually, and the diffraction peak intensity when Ag atomic percentage conc is 30% is the most weak.Can infer that Ag atom replaces Cu atom in a large number, and then form a kind of subtractional solid solution structure of high solid solution content.Because such solid solution structure produces, destroy the Cu-O-Cu chemical bonding of Partial Height symmetry in crystalline structure, form a large amount of asymmetrical Cu-O-Ag chemical bonds.Just because of such chemical bond, change and make Cu room form energy step-down, and then improve hole, reach 10
21cm
-3, approach with metal carrier concentration, greatly improve its room temperature p-type electric-conducting performance.Because crystallization dies down with Ag are atom doped in a large number, chemical bond weakens, and thinks that the localization effect of O atom pairs hole carrier weakens, and be conducive to the improvement of mobility, but carrier mobility is also subject to the impact of carrier concentration.If carrier concentration is very high, between current carrier, Electron Electron coherent scattering effect strengthens, and can reduce mobility.The mobility of doping film is under this two kinds of otherwise impact mechanism acting in conjunction, and mobility decreases, but does not affect the improvement of its conductivity at room temperature performance.
Test-results shows, carries out Ag doping, significantly reduces Cu
2the resistivity of O based p type transparent conductive film, improves hole, and mobility does not obviously reduce.Apply the Ag doped with Cu that above-mentioned preparation method obtains
